    Yesterday
    Breakfast: chicken and broccoli
    Lunch: salad w/tuna, brossoli, and dressing
    Lunch 2: 2 slices of pizza and a Diet dr. pepper
    Snack: almonds
    Dinner: made a quick vai=riation of Allison's(Nate's wife) white chicken chilli w/ some mixed nuts.
    2lbs. of chicken, cut into strips
    1 sweet onion
    2 bell peppers
    1 can fire roasted tomatoes
    1/2- 1cp. of chicken broth
    Heat oil in a pan, throw in sliced onions and bell peppers. cook until semi-tender add chicken and cook till seared. add tomatoes and cicken broth, let simmer until chicken is cooked, about 10 min. Add more chicken stock if it is too thick. Tastes great poured over any vegetable, almost like a sauce.

    I already cheated, i know, and it felt soooooooo good. Hope everyone is having fun at the river.

  4. Holy Killer 'Kelly' Batman...

    I'm in Winston-Salem, N.C., for job training, and I visited a CrossFit here. As many of you know, yesterday was Kelly. Well, the weather has been bad here, so no running. Instead...

    5 rds:
    40 SHDP (45#)
    30 Box jumps - 28" (they don't have 24" boxes)
    30 Wall balls - 16# (they don't have 14# balls)

    41:45

    Needless to say, Kelly kicked my a#!.

  7. Holy Cow Krissi, 28" box jumps?? thats 2.33 feet - yikes! I like how you put it "It was raining, so do 40 SDHP instead since that is equivalent to running 400m; and our boxes are so big, you need a step ladder to get on it"

  8. crashed at the river today... :( I totally ran out of gas. Think I may have to adjust my diet a bit...I may not be eating enough...which might be a first for me! Still it was a lovely, crisp morning and great to be outside befor the rain!

  9. Vilas, if you OD on carrots... your skin pigment will turn a little orange.

  12. Birdie,
    Why don't you bring in your food log tomorrow. We can take a look at it and make some adjustments.
    Paul
    P.S. If you don't have a food log try and remember everything you ate for the last 2 days or so.

    Breakfast:
    Canned wild salmon, clementines, olive oil shot
    Lunch:
    Literacy Action lunch but not bad, a little bit of dairy and some grains, but it could have been worse and again it was free.
    Dinner:
    Might be Pork Adobo with Salad. We'll see

  17. 5k - 23:06.

    Stopped at Trader Joe's on the way home. I think the sunflower seed butter is growing on me. It's decent with some celery and I think I finally got it mixed up enough. Much more excited about the quart of "Mississippi Mud" black & tan I picked up tho... I would say I belong in the cheater category with Chace but its my birthday week so that doesn't count right?

  18. Isa,
    Look for sausage that says, "No nitrites or nitrates" and try to buy something that has minimal ingredients, only meat and seasonings is best. If you can't pronounce it, you probably shouldn't be eating it.

    Yesterday
    Training - 8x100, fastest time 15.8 tied old PR but form felt great
    Food - 3 egg scramble w/ chicken, red onion, goat cheese (cheater), and avocado, with a side of bacon. Snacked all day on pork tenderloin, blueberries, apple, nuts, and some dark chocolate. Made some ground bison and veggie stir-fry in coconut oil for dinner.

  19. Breakfast - Eggs, Bacon, Sausage (Embassy Suites Tampa)

    Lunch - Cobb Salad with blue cheese dressing

    Dinner - Turkey meatloaf, blueberries, cashews.

    After dinner snack - 2 trick-or-treat packs of M&Ms. Oh well - I'm trying.

    Successfully avoided plane snacks though :)

  20. Got the memo on the lake run too late this
    AM and did my 5K on the ol Evolution Loop. Forgot how much I hated that back hill...
    5K = 33.42min
    CrossFit would be fun if it wasn't for all the running
